Cable Protection

Cable protection allows to eliminate hazards from pedestrian tripping, while protecting the cable, hose or wires from impacts. In order to select the best cable protectors there are these points to consider. Will the deployment of cable be temporary or semi-permanent? What is the diameter and quantity of cables? Will pedestrians be in the area or just cars/ trucks? Will there be a large proportion of trucks or HGVs in the area? Will the area be unattended at night or over the weekends?

It is to be ascertained whether the cable will be deployed in a light duty indoor area then select lightweight protector like the GHP cable protector is to be used. This is suited for light pedestrian activity on temporary or semi-permanent basis in offices. Pittman’s HR2 cable protectors is the most preferred choice for use with HGV traffic and is tested for the use of 44 tonne trucks. These cable protectors are popular with fire crews, dairy trucks and water utilities is the HR3 Hose Ramp, which has the capacity for two 3’’ diameter hoses and is quick to deploy.

If the situation calls for a permanent solution, you have to look at the multiple hose/ cable protectors.
